The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly set to ask a federal judge to compel Google to sell its Chrome web browser, a move that could significantly reshape the global digital landscape. This development follows a landmark ruling in August which found that Google maintains an illegal monopoly in the search engine market. According to reports, antitrust officials also intend to propose new requirements regarding Google’s data licensing and its integration of artificial intelligence within search results. Google has criticized the potential move, with Lee-Anne Mulholland, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, stating that the DOJ is pushing a 'radical agenda' that would harm consumers and developers. While proponents of the action argue it is a necessary step to restore competition, legal analysts suggest the case faces a multi-year battle in the appeals courts before any structural changes are implemented.
